Hello

After my EG6 came to a sad end:mfrown:, I now am finally the proud new owner of an EP3:mbiggrin:. I gotta say, it's the sh*t:mtongue:. This car has all the features I wish my old civic had. Sunroof, cruise control, 160 hp. Anyway, I had seen this site before and figured I'd come hit up the forums. I'm looking to get idea's for stuff to do to it, so feel free to throw me suggestions. As it sits now, the car has ENKEI rims, DC Headers, and some aftermarket motor mounts (they are solid). You can really feel the motor shake when it starts up, but it hooks up nicely, pulls well, and handles beautifully. There are 3 flaws, The check engine light is on, the guy I bought it from told me it's the rear O2 sensor and he is a Marine so I trust him. The other 2 flaws include two tiny dents on the passenger side, and a faded lens (in the process of restoring it). The interior was a little dirty, but was easily cleaned. I also noticed my gauge lights are out on one side, anyone know an easy fix for that? Any input is appreciated!

Thanks-
Jon

Welcome Jon...Good to have you here...You will definitely learn alot on this site. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable folks on here will chime in about the one sided cluster lights. I'm not really sure. Could it be the bulbs in the cluster?

I'm thinking the bulb is probably out, but I have yet to take the dash apart.

WELCOME you will love the car its very comfortable. oh by the way never trust a marine lol i would suggest start by buy some springs or even coilovers depending on you budget, tint the windos and go from there whatever style you like.:mcool:

Welcome to EPHatch!

For your cluster have a look there: http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?43675-DIY-Cluster-Removal

For your CEL about the o2 sensor, if you have a Race-Header then it might be because it's mounted before the cat = "normal".

Post pic of your engine mounts!

Enjoy!

This was before I cleaned it, the stains in the seat came out. And the carpet cleaned up nicely as well...
